Do they exist? I'm talking about modern modern with Tar-21 rifles. So far I've found Caesar miniatures ones with M4s but the poses are terrible, the sculpts are pretty bad, and the material is horrible so everything is bent. Elheim has some nice IDF but they are armed for 1982. I've just ordered 8 of Cromwell's newest Merkava IV and Namer vehicles with ADS (new mould!) and really need to find suitable infantry. Anyone know of any good models? |

link Friendship do a pack with the Tavor. I think they also sell the rifles separately in a pack for conversions and such. I seem to remember Wartime in Australia also has a pack either available or in the line to be moulded with Tavor and the Negev LMG. |

I checked Wartime earlier and their IDF section lists no products found. I do remember now seeing those Friendship ones. I'm really looking for something complete with heavy weapons and such being available. At this point it is looking like I will just have to settle with IDF using M4s or use British troops since they actually look sort of similar depending on the time period. |

All I can say is: Give me some time, I´m working on it :D Seriously, I´m just trying to start up a range of new Modern Israelis with Tavors & modern Equipment. Masters are mostly done and will in all likelyhood be shipped to the caster sometime next week. The casts should arrive in 2-3 weeks from that point, so I´m aiming for a late March or early April release. I hope to finish the website in time for their arrival. If you have that much time, these fellows could be yours very soon ;)

Yes that's what I need. Even better if you are giving them extra weapons such as GPMG LMG and AT. Only thing about them is that not everyone wears the head thing and I'd personally only have it on 1 out of every 3 or 4 men. Other than that, these are the best I've seen so far. Hit me up with a link when you finish the website please. Oh and please tell me you're doing female soldiers too! Service in the IDF is mandatory for both sexes! |

I´ll be doing a GPMG Team in conjunction with those you see above. Unfortunately all of the first batch will have a miznefet, from the pictures I have seen during my research almost every soldier had one of those. Might add a few without later on if there´s enough demand for the initial batch. Same goes for female soldiers, good idea for later additions :) |

Fine by me. I need a company of them. |
